An amazing little town with such an adorable lodge at the heart of it. The owner was so sweet and kind. This was our favorite stay throughout our 8 day cross country trip from VA to WA.

It was awesome staying so close to the main strip of Keystone but also being secluded enough for a quiet good night's rest on a very comfortable bed! Staff was so friendly and the place had character, a beautiful patio, and amazing scenery. It felt safe and clean and comfortable. I will definitely be staying here again!

Super cute hotel on the side of the road, near stores/shops.
Easy check in, front desk called to confirm and texted room code (no need to check in upon arrival).
Parking is on the road right outside hotel.

This is a family owned lodge and they are warm, friendly, and helpful. They invite the guests in the morning for pastries and a light breakfast. The room was clean but a little rustic. The bed was very comfortable. I would highly recommend this property.

One of the most friendly places I have stayed at. The room was just repainted with updated carpet and the bed was very conformable. More on the scale of a bed at a Hyatt hotel. Close enough to down town that you could walk to any of the stores/restaurants.

The lodge was great. The only negative comment would be the paper thin walls, I could hear everything. Also the hotel is not ADA complacent.

We enjoyed our two night stay. Close to everything. Small mix up when we were told we had only. Booked one night but we showed them confirmation and receipt for two and heard nothing more. Comfy beds.
